Program Only Putting Icon in Notification Area

[JamesJ]

I have a program in my start menu that when I select it it doesn't open, it
mealy places it's icon in the notification area of the task bar. This has
forced me to right click and select 'Open' form the icon's context menu. I
tried
changing the 'Run' box to maximized but it didn't work. The original folder
the
program put in the start menu after installation worked ok.
I have since removed it and added just the executable to the star menu which
is what doesn't seem to want to cooperate.

Any help will be appreciated,
James

Some programs do that by design.
